I usually don't write reviews but I also don't usually find a place to describe as "awful". We went there for Father's Day. I had the father' day menu. On paper it looked great , but the execution was awful. Let's start with the tasteless steamed clams in a nondescript tasteless organgy colored garlic sauce. This was followed by Caesar Salad that was cut so small and was so loaded with dressing that you could not even pick it up with a fork. You had to shovel it on the fork-- no crunch of the ribs of the ramaine-- just soggy -- but you got a lot of it. It was obvious that the person who made this never had a Caesar Salad before.
Next, the entree. Overcooked, reheated, gray roast chicken (i think they microwaved it too long to reheat) , on a plate that was covered with ( rather slopped) Mashed potatoes. Grilled Asparagus (these were actually good- just the right texture), all covered with a brown sauce.
Dessert was the ultimate in awful. The waitress said there was a new chef and the menu was changing or had changed. Not sure what she meant but she offered baked Alaska. Now I have had Baked Alaska in this restaurant when it was called Blues Eyes and it was pretty darn good. Today, it tasted and looked nothing like it. It looked like a jar of marsh mellow fluff had been poured into a plate covered with Hersey's Chocolate. No browning of the meringue, no flambe. I put my spoon in and found no ice cream. I tried again, no ice cream. Finally, on the third try, I found a scoop of chocolate Ice cream and crumbs like broken Oreo's. enough was enough. I sent it back. If this was the "new chef" these guys are in deep trouble.
Now for the others at my table. My daughter got grilled chicken with tomatoes and mozzarella. You could make this into a really good dish and the ability to make the presentation terrific is wonderful with these ingredients, noooo, the people who run this place have no vision at all. They put textured, prepackaged and pre-grilled chicken pieces in a small bowl. They poured in some cherry tomatoes and poured in some mozzarella balls (you know- the kind you get at the supermarket). That was it.
My wife got the ST Louis ribs and they were very tender but tasteless. No dry rub or seasoning-- just the bottled barbecue sauce (which by the way was the best part of the dinner. Needless to say, we will not be back until we see a sign saying "under new management".
Pros: Good Asparagus- tender Ribs
Cons: Food was not good and not sure owner realizes how bad it is
